The whole film centres around rape cases, and implies some very disturbing sexual things.

Nothing shown on screen but most of the victims are described as having objects put into their genitals, there are multiple scenes where examiners take out these objects, but the genitals themselves are not shown

Not technically at a hospital, instead at a doctor's office, but it ticks off all the boxes of what would make someone uncomfortable with a hospital

Not specifically, but a neurodivergent character is referred to as the "r-word" multiple times and is tortured but not because of his condition.
